Quick trivia:

The last UNC or Mac Brown QB that did poo in the pros?

Oh wait.

What LSU QB before Burrow did anything?

what Oregon QB before Herbert?

what Auburn QB before Cam?

what Texas Tech QB before Mahomes?

every USC QB in the last 20 years besides Carson Palmer has been a bust, should teams shy away from Caleb Williams?

dumb take lmao

I don't dislike the kid.  I just think it's way too premature to anoint him.  The ACC is flat out awful, and that team has struggled to beat good teams.  You are right, my argument in and of itself is no basis to write the kid off, but I don't think it's entirely impertinent.  There are certain teams that have a knack of developing good pros, and some that don't.  UNC is a school that used to pump out great NFL prospects.  In the past ten years we haven't seen much.  Great college qbs really elevate their squad and in the very least can grind out a signature win or two.  UNC looks great against Duke, Syracuse, Va Tech, and Wake Forest (not a real top 25) team.  But Notre Dame, and Clemson?  Outclassed.  He pressed so hard on that pick 6 and couldn't bounce back.  Not sure how you can have this kid over a guy like Rattler who at best is what maybe a 2nd or 3rd round pick right now.

I mean....he is obviously better than Rattler.

If everyone bails ship then Maye should leave.  UNC had one of their better seasons and will probably still finish unranked.  Also, Mack Brown needs to retire 

The football program is historically (other than Mack’s two stints) a 6-6 with a Dukes Mayo Bowl program that will always be in the shadow of the basketball team 

after inheriting a dumpster fire, in the 4 years hes been back hes had them in the orange bowl, in the acc championship, made them a legit destination for elite recruits, made them nationally relevant, and has actually made chapel hill care about football again. He should have the stadium named after him not retire. The only fans upset or other fanbases hating on him are the delusional ones that think UNC should be the level of program Clemson is. What gets forgotten is he probably would have had them there his first stint if it wasnt happening at the same time Florida State was in their golden age

After reading this, I had to go look at the performance because this post makes it seem like they have been a perennial top 15 program. The actual reality is that despite the unreal wealth of talent Mack Brown is 30-21 in his recent stint. Including only being ranked in the postseason top 25 once in his tenure and currently 1-3 record in bowl games and championship games. 

Also, these results are strikingly familiar, as they should be. Because they are slightly worse through 4 years than what Larry Fedora did, including an ACC Championship appearance.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
